League Play-Off

Stadio Baranzate
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Fortunato Marra started the match with the kick off. When the match had been going on for 7 minutes, Baranzate's Diego Camerlengo got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Augusto Maranzano. Cristoforo Alonzi took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 15th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Elia Rulli. Baranzate's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Florian Santilli scored 1-1 in the 18th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Elia Rulli, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Baranzate's Elia Rulli played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Florian Santilli in the 21st minute of play. If Fortunato Marra had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 24 minutes into the game, Emanuele Castrucci was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Marino's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Baranzate the free kick. Adriano Marra fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Augusto Maranzano having to interfere. Baranzate's Elia Rulli played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Florian Santilli in the 36th minute of play. Florian Santilli scored 2-2 in the 45th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Elia Rulli, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ennio Colecchia to make the kick off. Fortunato Marra recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 53rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Augusto Maranzano showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Fortunato Marra in the 57th minute of the match. If Fortunato Marra had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 69 minutes, Adriano Marra managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Baranzate's supporters crossed their fingers, but Adriano Marra was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 70 minutes into the match, Marino's goal looked a bit too open when Fortunato Marra came free, but Augusto Maranzano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 73 played minutes Baranzate got a freekick which was hit by Ferruccio Della Francesca. Florian Santilli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The supporters of Marino booed when Baranzate was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 78 match minutes in a wonderful position. Comunardo Combi didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 85th match minute, Marino was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Fabrizio Marziali to maneuver through the defense. In the 87th minute of the match Baranzate got a corner. Marino's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Diego Camerlengo ran over to the corner to take the kick. After a defensive mix-up in Baranzate's zone, Ennio Colecchia stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Elia Rulli came out of the goal and Ennio Colecchia tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Florian Santilli could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 92nd minute of the match, but Elia Rulli made a huge save. Elia Rulli took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ennio Colecchia, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Florian Santilli's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 96thth minute, Elia Rulli skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal.
